Should I Get Snow Socks, Cables, Or Chains For My 2022 Subaru Forester?
Question:
Hi, I am going to be traveling through the mountains in the next couple weeks and need to get some kind of tire chain for my 2022 Subaru Forester that has 225/60R17 tires on it. I don't plan on getting into anything deep so I don't know if I need anything heavy duty. I saw the tire socks TCH70 and was wondering if they will work? Thanks for any insight.

Expert Reply:
The ISSE Classic Snow Socks # TCH70 will meet the Department of Transportation requirements in all states, but they will not be very effective if you do end up hitting snow. Due to this, I tend to steer people away from this option and towards one that will get you better traction when you need it most.
The Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC343DC will do a much better job than the socks will, but even these are really only intended for one season. With that said, I tend to always recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # TC1553. These will last longer than the other styles and will also give you much better traction. And for the price, you really can't beat them.
